Tensions within the Beckham family have reportedly escalated, with Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, sending a legal notice to his parents. This action signifies a deepening rift that has been simmering for quite some time, particularly since Brooklyn's marriage to Nicola Peltz in 2022.

The legal notice reportedly restricts David and Victoria from tagging Brooklyn in social media posts and demands that all communication be handled exclusively through lawyers. This follows Brooklyn's decision to block his parents and siblings on Instagram. The reason for this extreme step was allegedly triggered after Victoria 'liked' a video of a roast chicken that Brooklyn had shared. However, Brooklyn has not blocked his grandparents or other extended family members, who continue to engage with his posts.

According to reports, Brooklyn had initially requested that all correspondence be conducted through legal channels at the end of last summer. He apparently wanted to resolve the issues privately, but felt his parents were ignoring his wishes by mentioning him online instead of reaching out privately. A source close to the family stated that Brooklyn felt his parents continued to ignore his request, leading him to block them on social media.

The legal letter and subsequent blocking have reportedly left David and Victoria "bemused and devastated". Sources say that they have tried to maintain contact and let their son know that the "door is always open". Despite the turmoil, they are said to feel no malice and are simply concerned. David and Victoria are reportedly being represented by Harbottle & Lewis lawyers.

The estrangement within the Beckham family has been a subject of public interest for months. Brooklyn's absence from his father's 50th birthday celebrations and the premiere of Victoria's Netflix documentary further fueled speculation about a growing rift. Similarly, David and Victoria allegedly did not attend Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal earlier this year.

Cruz Beckham, Brooklyn's younger brother, previously revealed that Brooklyn had blocked other family members on social media, bringing the family's internal conflicts into the spotlight. This latest legal move appears to further underline the ongoing rift, signaling a deepening divide within one of Britain's most high-profile families.

While the possibility of reconciliation remains, the situation appears more complicated than initially perceived. The coming months will reveal whether the family can navigate this challenging period and rebuild their relationships.
